This recipe was adapted from my favorite recipe for Mexican rice, but since I'm not eating white rice anymore, I figured why not attempt it with a healthier grain? I'm glad I did, because it turned out awesome! *Just a note, the preparation does involve a food processor, but you can always use a blender.*Also, if you have some kind of oven-proof saucepan, use that for the whole stove-top preparation to avoid pouring the hot mixture into an oven-safe dish. I need to get one for myself, pronto!

How Do I Make Mexican Baked Quinoa?

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a food processor, blend together pickled jalapenos and onion. Add tomato and pulse until combined. Set aside.

Carefully pour in the tomato mixture from the food processor. Add the tomato paste, the cup of water, and the vegetable bouillon. Stir until combined.
